At N.C. Cooperative Extension, 4-H Youth Development strives to equip young people with the knowledge and skills they need to become successful adults. Effective communications and public speaking skills are vital as youth develop into tomorrow’s leaders. Currituck County 4-H staff and volunteers worked with 4-H members to write, rehearse and deliver presentations at the recently held Northeast District 4-H Activity Day. Currituck 4-H’ers brought home 18 medals, six of them gold, from the competition held at Warren County Middle School in Warren County, NC. Eighteen Currituck County 4-H’ers were among 196 youth, from 22 counties, who competed in outdoor cooking contests and public speaking presentations, for which they prepared and presented a 5-12 minute speech on the topic of their choice.
